This is a sub-project of [https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_hello_worlds](https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_hello_worlds), which intends to demonstrate the combined use of several feats:

  * Streaming FMV from the CD ; the menu background is a looping [STR](https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_hello_worlds/wiki/STR) file, which is the video format use by the PSX.  
  * Audio playback using [@nicolasnoble](https://github.com/nicolasnoble/)'s [modplayer](https://github.com/grumpycoders/pcsx-redux/tree/main/src/mips/modplayer) ; the music and sound effects are using a converted [MOD](https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_hello_worlds/wiki/MOD) file.  
  * Using [overlays](https://github.com/JaberwockySeamonstah/PSXOverlayExample) to [load and execute](https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_hello_worlds/tree/main/hello_ovl_exec) 'sub-process'.  

Separate examples for these features are available here :  

  * [https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_hello_worlds/tree/main/hello_str](https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_hello_worlds/tree/main/hello_str)  
  * [https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_hello_worlds/tree/main/hello_mod](https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_hello_worlds/tree/main/hello_mod)  
  * [https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_hello_worlds/tree/main/hello_ovl_exec](https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_hello_worlds/tree/main/hello_ovl_exec)  

## Cloning this repo

Clone recursively as we're using a submodule:

`git clone https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_demo.git --recursive`  

## Compiling

You need [mkpsxiso](https://github.com/Lameguy64/mkpsxiso) in your $PATH to generate a PSX disk image.
Typing 
```bash
make
```
in a terminal will compile and generate the bin/cue files.  

Typing
```bash
make cleansub
``` 
will clean the current directory

##  Creating the disk image

```bash
mkpsxiso -y isoconfig.xml
```

### CD image

For the curious, a bin/cue is available from the release page : [https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_demo/releases](https://github.com/ABelliqueux/nolibgs_demo/releases).
